We’ve made some exciting updates to Hungry Horrors, our roguelite deckbuilder that blends cooking with British and Irish mythology. You’ll find new card designs, a more streamlined UI, and we’ve added a new caves music track, composed by Henry Taylor, that adds to the atmosphere. For those who are new to the game, Hungry Horrors is a PC roguelite deckbuilder where, instead of fighting monsters, you cook and serve them traditional dishes. Set in a world full of creatures from British and Irish folklore, you’ll prepare meals such as Cranachan and Stargazy Pie to appease characters like the eerie Jenny Greenteeth and the formidable Dullahan. But not all encounters are so grim—helpful folk such as Bluecap and Wulver will assist you on your journey.

Golden Light is my answer which is all about meat. Its pretty small community and it's on multiple platforms (i think lol)but the aesthetic is very good so you dont really need to play multiplayer. The story is about you and you end up in the gut. You go through floors to remember and during that time you learn alot about what's around you but since everything isnt always the same it gets difficult. The monsters themselves range from anything like piles of human body parts to living metallic amalgamations with many different shapes it truly likes this certain idea of horror throughout. I do think there are some visually pleasant places to look at too and overall its a good look at something that isnt just a serial killer type monster but more just a being of its own world. Please check out the game if this sounds slightly interesting at the very least look at a youtube video or two about the game and its made by mr.pink and his team (join the discord) who also have made various other games. I would like to wrap this up by saying some the imagery might be just weird to some people but I think it really adds to the whole vibe of why the game is happening to your character but go find out for yourself. ; )

Perhaps not the most horrific... but the Xenomorph from alien isolation is has the most brilliant monster AI in any survival game. It adapts to your every move. It's so incredible, the IGN reviewer gave it a low score saying "the AI is too smart" indirectly saying the monster AI is smarter than him 🤣

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

Kinda similar feeling that makes you afraid even to run the game, although you want to play more, and finish it, served me only two titles - old Doom3, with creepiest hell'ish designs, but little generic now, and Resident Evil VII, with it's ridiculous ideas, creepiest nightmares way more than you expected.

SHOULD I PLAY BLADE X: ODYSSEY OF HEROES? Skip it, unless you really enjoy hack-and-slash games. Blade X: Odyssey of Heroes offers an action-packed hack-and-slash combat experience with RPG elements, like skill enhancements, gear upgrades, and character leveling. Unfortunately, it’s dragged down by repetitive gameplay, a lack of rewards, and a bunch of annoying microtransaction and ad promotions. TIME PLAYED

One of the best ports from PC to Android. It's addictive from the first minutes of the game. Perfect plot, gameplay, graphics, quests. It is better to watch the video on YouTube, because there is no indicator where to go.

The witch from Left 4 Dead is iconically scary!!!

SHOULD I PLAY WORLD OF HORROR? Love Junji Ito? Can’t get enough of Lovecraft? If you’re a fan of terrifying tales, World of Horror is a game you won’t want to miss. An old god has turned its gaze on your sleepy Japanese town, and it’s up to you to investigate the creepy events happening around you. Why is your neighbor suddenly hoarding eels? What’s up with the scissor-carrying lady that’s been wandering around your school?

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL MAY CRY: PEAK OF COMBAT? It’s worth checking out, but you might want to keep your expectations in check, especially if you played the beta. I was really impressed with Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat during its beta, but since then, the combat system has been seriously downgraded. Characters now have only one basic attack button, which makes it much harder to string together combos. The original weapon switching system has been replaced with character swapping, which makes individual characters less customizable. It’s still a good mobile action game, but it’s lacking the kind of complexity I crave from a

Horror fans are still eagerly awaiting the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2, but Konami made a surprise reveal today that makes the wait just a little less painful. During today's State of Play stream, Sony played a trailer for Silent Hill: The Short Message, a new free Silent Hill game that will launch of PlayStation 5 later today. Konami describes The Short Message as a "short-form" Silent Hill title that's meant to be the first of a wave of new Silent Hill games to help revive the franchise. Apparently they're not counting

Here we are with the new generation horror game with a simple concept but do you think the horror is simple.....

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re at all a fan of Vampire Survivors and its many clones and imitators. Bio Prototype takes the one-tiny-character-versus-hundreds-of-baddies and adds in a healthy dose of science. You play as a lab experiment gone wrong. Instead of just leveling up and unlocking a growing list of power-ups, you earn both internal and external body parts and must work out a functioning evolutionary path for your creation. This extra layer of depth adds a ton to an already addictive genre of games.

Towaga: Among Shadows is a casual but insanely fun action-adventure game with beautiful 2D visuals and smooth animation that explores a world of darkness from the perspective of a light-bringing warrior. After an hour of monster slaying, I’ve come to enjoy Towaga: Among Shadows’s simple shoot ‘em up gameplay and storyline. In Towaga: Among Shadows, I embarked on an adventure to save a stunning Aztec-themed world from evil monsters seeking to ravage everything in its sight. I had to battle against various creatures using abilities and a beam of light that I could redirect willingly with the swoosh and hold of a finger. I’ve found the story mode more enjoyable so far, despite only dabbling in the game’s survival mode, but I’ve yet to play multiplayer.

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game by Behaviour Interactive. One player is the Killer, while four others are Survivors. The Killer hunts and sacrifices Survivors to appease the Entity, while Survivors must evade capture and power up generators to escape. It's a game absolutely packed with murderous monsters, both original and licensed from other franchises.

SHOULD I PLAY HELLBOY WEB OF WYRD? If you’re not a die-hard Hellboy fan, you should probably skip this one. Hellboy Web of Wyrd looks like a B.P.R.D. comic brought to life. It’s got spectacular visuals and excellent voice acting (including a lead performance from the late, great Lance Reddick), but it’s just not very fun to play. The sluggish combat and buggy gameplay sapped most of the fun out this game.
